<translate> Tracking categories are a feature of MediaWiki which allow pages with certain characteristics to be tracked. They work by adding any such page to a category automatically. </translate>
<translate> Since <tvar name=1>MediaWiki 1.23</tvar>, tracking categories are listed in the <tvar name=2>$wgTrackingCategories</tvar> configuration variable, and can be viewed on <tvar name=3>Special:TrackingCategories</tvar>.</translate> <translate> Since MediaWiki 1.25, tracking categories, which are added by MediaWiki itself, are hard-coded in the MediaWiki source code, and <tvar name=1>$wgTrackingCategories</tvar> is kept for backwards compatibility.</translate>
<translate>
What category to use is determined by the tracking category's [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Help:System message</tvar>|system message]], that is, a page in MediaWiki namespace. If the message is a single hyphen-minus (-), then the tracking category is disabled. Often wiki admins mark such categories as hidden (using the <tvar name=2>__HIDDENCAT__</tvar> [[<tvar name=magic>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Magic words</tvar>|magic word]]), since they are meant for maintenance and not general consumption. Some sites use <tvar name=3>Parser functions</tvar> to modify which category is used based on namespace, but that doesn't work properly until 1.19.
Some wikis add custom tracking categories via some hacks, for instance [[<tvar name=1>w:it:Categoria:Pagine con errori nelle espressioni</tvar>|this category]], which tracks pages with <tvar name=2>#expr</tvar> errors, added through the [[<tvar name=3>w:it:Special:PrefixIndex/MediaWiki:Pfunc expr</tvar>|relevant errors]] shown on such pages.
Core
The following tracking categories are added by MediaWiki itself, or have been in the past. </translate>
| <translate> Default category</translate> | <translate> Message</translate> | <translate> What triggers the category's inclusion</translate> | <translate> Version</translate> |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pages with too many expensive parser function calls | expensive-parserfunction-category | The page uses too many expensive parser functions (like #ifexist). See Manual:$wgExpensiveParserFunctionLimit.<translate> This tracking category replaced <tvar name=2>pfunc_max_ifexist_category</tvar>, which was added by <tvar name=1>Extension:ParserFunctions</tvar>.</translate> |
1.13 |
| Pages containing omitted template arguments | post-expand-template-argument-category | The page is bigger than $wgMaxArticleSize after expanding a template argument (something in triple braces, like {{{Foo}}}).
|
1.13 |
| Pages where template include size is exceeded | post-expand-template-inclusion-category | The page size is bigger than $wgMaxArticleSize after expanding all the templates, so some templates were not expanded.
|
1.13 |
| Noindexed pages | noindex-category | The page is not indexed by robots because it has the magic word __NOINDEX__ on it and is in a namespace where that flag is allowed.
|
1.15 |
| Indexed pages | index-category | The page has a __INDEX__ on it (and is in a namespace where that flag is allowed), and hence is indexed by robots where it normally wouldn't be.
|
1.15 |
| Hidden categories | hidden-category-category | The category contains __HIDDENCAT__ in its page content, which prevents it from showing up in the category links box on pages by default.
|
1.13 |
| Pages with broken file links | broken-file-category | The page contains a broken file link (a link to embed a file when the file does not exist). <translate> This does not include links to files on the bad image list, files that cannot be displayed inline (due to lack of handler support), links directly to a file page (by preceding with a colon, e.g. <tvar name=1> [[:File:Example.png]]</tvar>). The category, if enabled, is linked from [[<tvar name=2>Special:Wantedfiles</tvar>]] since 1.19.</translate>
|
1.18 |
| Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls | duplicate-args-category | The page contains template calls that use duplicates of arguments, such as {{foo|bar=1|bar=2}} or {{foo|bar|1=baz}}.
|
1.25 |
| Pages where node count is exceeded | node-count-exceeded-category | The page exceeds the maximum node count. | 1.24 |
| Pages where expansion depth is exceeded | expansion-depth-exceeded-category | The page exceeds the maximum expansion depth. | 1.24 |
| Pages with ignored display titles | restricted-displaytitle-ignored | The page has an ignored {{DISPLAYTITLE}} because it is not equivalent to the page's actual title.
|
1.28 |
| <translate> Pages using invalid self-closed HTML tags</translate> | deprecated-self-close-category | <translate> The page contains invalid self-closed HTML tags, such as <tvar name=1><b /></tvar> or <tvar name=2><span /></tvar>.</translate> <translate> The behavior of these will change soon to be consistent with the HTML5 specification, so their use in wikitext is deprecated.</translate>
|
1.28 <translate> (removed in <tvar |
| Pages with template loops | template-loop-category | The page contains a template loop, ie. a template which calls itself recursively. | 1.29 |
| Pages using ISBN magic links | magiclink-tracking-isbn | This page uses ISBN magic links. See mediawiki.org on how to migrate. <translate> This tracking category is only added if <tvar name=1>$wgEnableMagicLinks</tvar> is true.</translate> |
1.28 |
| Pages using RFC magic links | magiclink-tracking-rfc | This page uses RFC magic links. See mediawiki.org on how to migrate. <translate> This tracking category is only added if <tvar name=1>$wgEnableMagicLinks</tvar> is true.</translate> |
1.28 |
| Pages using PMID magic links | magiclink-tracking-pmid | This page uses PMID magic links. See mediawiki.org on how to migrate. <translate> This tracking category is only added if <tvar name=1>$wgEnableMagicLinks</tvar> is true.</translate> |
1.28 |
| Pages which use = as a template | template-equals-category | The page contains {{=}} but on this wiki that does not expand to =. This usage is deprecated; a future MediaWiki version will implement {{=}} as a parser function.
|
1.36 |
| Pages with non-numeric formatnum arguments | nonnumeric-formatnum | The page contains a non-numeric argument to the formatnum parser function. | 1.36 |
<translate>
Extensions
</translate> <translate> The following tracking categories are added by extensions, or have been in the past.</translate> <translate> Extensions can add new tracking categories using the {{<tvar name=1>ll|Manual:Extension registration</tvar>|extension registration system}}.</translate> <translate> Prior to 1.25, this was instead done via <tvar name=1>Parser::addTrackingCategory</tvar>, with the tracking category name added to <tvar name=2>$wgTrackingCategories</tvar>.</translate>
| <translate> Default category</translate> | <translate> Message</translate> | <translate> What triggers the category's inclusion</translate> | <translate> Added by extension</translate> | <translate> Version</translate> |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| <translate> Pages with too many ifexist calls</translate> [1] | pfunc_max_ifexist_category | <translate> Warning: This page contains too many #ifexist calls. It should have less than $2, there are now $1.</translate> <translate> This tracking category was replaced with <tvar name=1>expensive-parserfunction-category</tvar>, which is added by core.</translate> <translate> The messages for the tracking category and its description were removed in <tvar name=1>rev:32965</tvar>.</translate> |
